Let X Poisson(), and suppose the maximum likelihood estimate of based on X is b
Question:
Let X ∼ Poisson(λ), and suppose the maximum likelihood estimate of λ based on X is λb = 30 with 95% confidence interval (19, 41). Say whether each of the following statements is true or false. If it is false, say what is wrong with it.
a. About 95% of the time, the true value of λ lies between 19 and 41.
b. For about 95% of samples, the true value of λ lies in the confidence interval.
c. The confidence interval changes for every sample, but λ
stays the same.
d. The probability that a 95% confidence interval encloses λ
is about 0.95 under repeated sampling.
